Just a few kilometres from the
mighty Burdekin Falls Dam in
North Queensland, I pulled off the
road to investigate a small
watering hole surrounded by gaunt,
languid, hungry cattle. Their hides
hung from their bones like wet
cloth. They curiously came up to
me as I photographed them,
hoping I suppose, that I had a few
bales of feed with me.
Unfortunately, not.
From there I followed a dusty track
further away from the main road,
looking for painting inspiration. The
cattle were safe in my camera, but
what I wanted was some inspiring
landscape. I came upon the site of
this painting on Old Glenroy
Station, looking east from the
Burdekin River towards the
Leichardt Ranges.
